Winter Sonata seems to be a nice romantic Anime liken to a series you might see on the Lifetime channel. It is definitely a potential “chick-flick” in the making. That being said, this Korean made Anime is well done. At first it seems to start off slow as the stories ground work is laid. You see how two high-school classmates met up and start to see the beginnings of love between them.
If you are into Romantic dramas I recommend giving this series a try.
From the hit series CANAAN, Alphard the second character to be made available can be reserved in the Good Smile Company version. When paired with the Canaan version, you can re-create a fight scene as if from the series.
Alphard can be reserved now at Hobby Search. Retail price is 8,381 Yen.
I plan to add this to my collection. How about you?
I wanted to share some of my collection as a thanks to those who started me down this path. (interpret this as, poisoned my mind into purchasing these) The collection is still growing, more to come as they are released. I honestly did not know these existed until recently and I’m getting a kick out of seeing what is available. Anticipating the arrival of an order makes it all the more exciting.

I’ll share more as I receive them.
Appears there may be another edition of “Black Rock Shooter” made by Good Smile Company coming in 2010. A blade edition as shown in this video…

Of the series that are airing this Fall in Anime, Darker than Black is fast becoming a favorite. The characters are not flat, the voice acting is great and the action is definitely there. I find the series one that keeps me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire episode. Bravo to Bones for another fine piece of animation!
Kime Ni Todoke, based on the Manga of the same name, this series follows the High School life of a girl. Sawaka has been misunderstood most of her life, mainly because of her appearance. She was usually avoided by students and rumors would spread..
This all began to change when she met one of the most popular boys in her class / school and he took an interest in her. She began to open up and soon had several new friends.
The first episode follows the Manga fairly closely though it does seem to “speedboat” its way through some of the conversations that exist in the Manga. I though the artwork was pretty good although like the Manga, I’m still not quite used to how the character expressions are drawn.
I plan to watch more episodes to see how that let other character interactions play out.
I wonder if they got their idea from some of Orbits gum comercials…

Your input is welcome. This is my first go-round creating such a list so suggestions are welcome.
From the series Phantom ~ Requiem for the Phantom. Ein, aka the Phantom. Looks nicely done. Might add her to my collection…
Available for reservation through Hobby Search. Retails for 2,261 Yen
Watching some of the other series out this season, I can say I’m impressed so far… As a starter… “To Aru Kagaku no Railgun“. Story and action were well balanced in the first episode… One of the main characters is a human railgun…
Another series that seems pretty good (jury is still out) is “The Sacred Blacksmith” also known as “Seiken no Blacksmith“. I read that it may be liken to Tears to Tiara. I’m not sure. I have not watched enough of Tears to make that determination. What I have seen in this 1st episode is just enough to get me to watch the next. How ever, the main character Cecily Campbell, kind of annoys me.
I sure hope she changes attitudes soon, a little cutesy for a Knight…. Luke, the blacksmith in this series, needs to chill although he does have some unique abilities when it comes to forging.
His elf companion, Lisa, whats up with the eye thing needed for forging. Creepy… any who, this is a wait and see…
Another series “Nyan Koi” where by accidental fate, a boy is cursed to hear all things that cats are saying. He must complete 100 good deeds for cats or he to will become a cat. The tough / funny part is he is allergic to them. The initial episode was OK so I will try the next. I fear that this may become a bit mindless in the end.
Lastly, “Seitokai no Ichizon” (The Records of the Hekiyō Academy Student Council’s Activities), wasn’t on my list originally to be watched but turned out to be absolutely Hilarius. It is fast paced, rapid fire jokes with subtle references to other anime scattered though out. This anime is about the day to day happening of a high-school student council. I would recommend this as an ideal show if you want some light comedic relief.
There are a few other titles I am anticipating this season. I’ll post more as the season progresses.
